Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will outline, in light of recent reports concerning the status of the tenant in situ scheme in Cork city and Cork county, the number of acquisitions currently paused or delayed due to funding constraints in each of these local authorities; whether he intends to provide supplementary funding to address the reported €1.7 million shortfall that is preventing both Cork City Council and Cork County Council from completing purchase agreements already initiated under the scheme; whether his Department will consider reallocating underutilised funds from other local authorities to areas of acute need such as Cork; the measures being taken to ensure that local authorities can continue to use the scheme effectively as a homelessness-prevention tool in 2025 and beyond; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
